Default Re: England: Premier May 11

Blackburn
Blackburn are 7th and a win here may get them a spot in the Intertoto Cup next year. They have been playing really well this last few games and have a decent record at Birmingham. While Birmingham need a win so they don't get relegated they have some injury doubts and also doubts about whether they have the team to win when it is most needed.

Chelsea -2.5
Chelsea need to win here and hope Man Utd slips up. They have been in great recent form and have a sensational hom form where they have scored 35 goals and conceded only 12 while Bolton's away form is the complete opposite with 12 goals and 35 conceded. Bolton are virtually safe with little to play for. There are some injury concerns while some players are headed out the door so their mtivation for this game will be quite low. Chelsea should score at least 3 here.

Fulham
Portsmouth have their eyes on FA Cup and will not risk any injuries here. They have lost their last 3 games and meet a desperate Fulham side who have won 3 of their last 4 games incluing their last 2 away. Fulham need a win here and have being giving it their all in winning these games so look for them to give one final push to keep their spot in the Premier League

Sunderland over 2.5
Sunderland have gone over in 4 of their last 6 games including their last 3 at home. They will look to win here to finish their good season off on a good note and possibly a higher place with a win here could net the club some extra money.
Arsenal have gone over in their last 4 games as they have nothing to play for. They will probably rest some players here while others are out injured. However they will play at a more relaxed pace and when they did this earlier in the season, then they tended to score some goals as they have done recently when they have realised that they miss out on the title

West Ham over 2.5
West Ham have gone over in their last 3 games including thier last 2 at home while Villa have gone over in 5 of their last 6 games including their last 3 away. Both teams have shown that they can score but poor defending has seen them draw or lose games they cold have won. While West Ham have littke to play for, Villa need a win here for a chance to get a european spot, so look for some goals here

Leaning on draws at Derby, Tottenham, Wigan (2 of their last 3 at home were draws while Man U have drawn 2 of last 3 away) and Everton while a home win for Boro
